Energy affects and is affected by various aspects of life, such as geography, shopping, politics and economic development. Some experts may argue that energy is subordinate to their specialties, while energy professionals believe that it is the other way round, indicating that various fields and areas of expertise act more like satellites revolving around the center of energy. Far from such an argument, the present two-part report explores the relationship of energy to geography where the latter yields essential dimension to energy issues in terms of resource location and methods of exploitation. Considerations must be held when it comes to the possibilities of drilling for as well as the transport of said oil. With oil extraction geography, oil may be found in deep land or marine points and extraction is not impossible. Furthermore, energy is examined in terms of its relationship with politics and sustainable development. Today, one cannot separate the affect of energy on political policies and agendas. Energy has become the primary motivator seen in the language of modem times for which wars are waged and crimes are committed under groundless political tactics. However one cannot ignore that energy is also an integral part of growth and development for society. It is not only associated with direct uses e.g. heating, cooking, and lighting, but also extends to many supporting factors of sustainable development.
